Swedish Sandwich Cake aka SmörgåsTårta

This is my own vegan version of the swedish classic, smörgåstårta. The sandwich cake dates back to before the 1940 and are a common thing to serve on occasions as birthdays, midsummers eve, anniversaries and other big holidays.

Spread your cake evenly with the top cover layer and start to decorate it.

I usually use the lettuce leaves as the border around the cake and then let your imagination have a little fun and create the cake that looks the most appealing to you. Using things like the vegan seaweed caviar, lemon, cherry tomatoes, dill, cucumber and more.

It is addictive :) My fiance is australian and he had never heard of it before he came with me to Sweden, now he loves it and want it every birthday, easter and other holidays. The classic swedish versions are normally made with ham, cheese, prawns and other animal based produce. But trust me the VEGAN ones taste alot better! Let me know if you ever decide to try it out.
